Hello fellow Brrrr investors wondering if you have any recommendations for where we should invest in using the Brrrr strategy as a new investor?We are located in Joliet Illinois and looking for properties in state or out of state.Want to hear your input on where we might find affordable properties I can buy with cash that are on the path to progress.

Detroit is definitely worth considering. I built my 12-door portfolio there in just 2.5 years using BRRRR, and while it's not as easy as it was a few years ago, it's still one of the few markets where BRRRR actually works.

A few reasons why Detroit makes sense:

• Affordability – You can still buy solid properties with cash under $100k in the right areas.

• Rent-to-price ratio – Section 8 and market-rate rents can both produce strong cash flow.

• Appreciation story – Detroit is on the upswing, and certain areas are seeing major redevelopment.

• High rental demand – Plenty of renters looking for quality housing, especially near strong C to B-class neighborhoods.

That said, it’s not an easy market. You need the right team, local knowledge, and a game plan—especially if you’re investing out of state. I’ve written a lot about it and openly share my numbers, strategies, and lessons.

If you’re serious about exploring Detroit, feel free to reach out. Happy to share more insights!
